I suppose you think you are somehow being astute or smart by posting your Alinsky comments, which, is basically Alinskying me... but we won't get into that.

Nice try, but not true. I'm merely pointting out which rule of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals apply to your comment.

I post from my heart, have never read an Alinsky book in my life, which doesn't seem to be the case for you...

|That's nice to know you post from the heart. your heart is filled with belittling people? (because you do it a lot). I hope not.

If you want to support your candidate, learn to engage in thoughtful political discourse with your own thoughts and feelings... without throwing around some tired rules that you seem to subscribe to...

I don't have a candidate. I don't suscribe to these Alinsky tactics; I merely pointed out that YOU are using them whether you realize it or not. You are not alone. There are a group of you who post Santorum bashing threads and then trash anyone who shows up to support him or disagree with you. That is pure Alinsky. It's a favorite of dems.

... had an IQ test lately?

and there you are.....proving my whole point. You went right back to ridiculing me, I'm assuming because you took offense that I pointed out what you were doing. Either that, or you just think posters named Girlene have a questionable IQ.

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with other posters or expressing your viewpoint. True Believer Forever, I have noticed several times where you continue to call people names that you don't agree with. It shows your weakness in your argument when you have to resort to namecalling (IMO, of course).

Just my 2 cents.

You need to understand something, I never say a single belittling thing to anyone until they have said it to me first, and even then, I oftentimes don’t respond because I understand how people sometimes get carried away in the midst of discussions.

You are very supportive of Santorum, and I am not really certain you’re not a Santorum supporter.

You have never once engaged me in the content of things I have said or offered in discussion, just your little jibes and comments. And by summing up my comments as mere Alinsky tactics you are trying to rob them of any meaningfulness.. nice try.

I purposely put the IQ remark in to satisfy your expectations of me, nothing more... and you took the bait.

You need to prove that or stop maligning people, and making malicious statements, while playing the above-it-all victim. All your concern about the santorum threads, and lowering the standards at FR, have you ever checked out any of the Newt-bashing threads... even one? because, in my estimation, there have been maybe twice as many as those. And there's no comparison to Santorum supporters when it comes to maligning others. Where's your concern for the ugly things that have been said about Newt and his supporters, and his wife? Vile doesn't even come close to it. This selective outrage is really too much. I used to take it seriously and examine myself in case I was at fault, and there were times I made apologies. But now I see it for what it is..
